1. NYT: Doctor tests positive for Ebola virus in New York City.
A doctor in New York City who recently returned from treating Ebola patients in Guinea tested positive for the Ebola virus Thursday, becoming the city's first diagnosed case. [...] Even as the authorities worked to confirm that Mr. Spencer was infected with Ebola, it emerged that he traveled from Manhattan to Brooklyn on the subway on Wednesday night, when he went to a bowling alley, and then took a taxi home.

4. Mali confirms first Ebola case
The Mali government has confirmed the first case of Ebola in the country.
It said a two-year-old girl had tested positive for the haemorrhagic virus. She recently returned from the neighbouring Guinea.
More than 4,800 people have died of Ebola – mainly in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone – since March.
5. Guantanamo Prisoners in Protest Over Women Guards
(I think this complaint would require a quantum violin. Anything else would be too large)
Some prisoners in the highest-security unit of the Guantanamo Bay detention center have launched a protest against what they consider the religiously offensive use of female guards to move them around the U.S. base in Cuba, lawyers for the men say.
Prisoners designated by the government as "high-value detainees" because of their allegedly significant involvement in terrorism recently began refusing to meet with defense lawyers appointed by the Pentagon to defend them against war crimes charges unless the military agrees to use only men to escort them to meetings, according to several lawyers involved.

Islamic State militants in Raqqa, Syria crucified a 17-year old boy they accused of taking pictures of the group's military headquarters. Images of the three-day public execution in Raqqa's central square appeared on the Twitter site of the secular Syrian activist group "Raqqa is Being Slaughtered Silently."

Thank you CB Sashenka, M., GoV., Wrath of Khan, Richard, WTD., TL., ML., Marc C. and so very many more who send in materials regularly.
A note to all who help this site:
As you can read from the Agenda and Views of this site, the plan was to help wake Canadians and Western peoples up to the facts and nature of Islam in order to change a few simple attitudes and regulations that could solve the serious problems of a waning liberal democracy or republic based on Greek thought and individual liberty. Ideally, and had we acted soon enough, without much or even any bloodshed, at least on our own lands.
That ship has sailed.
We now have to re task ourselves to be frank. It will get much much worse before it gets better, So I want to thank you all for the help everyone has given the site and ask people, to quote Lady McBeth, "to screw their courage to the sticking place" and brace themselves for more vigilance and more work. For the moment, our effort will have to be to simply continue to gather evidence of what the nature of the threat is, and accurately predict what is coming our way so that sooner or later, the general public will have to defer to the authority of those who called it right. Hopefully before Western nations fall to a 'Strong Man Strategy' like Greece and Hungary are now, and like Germany and Italy did so many decades ago.
So once again, thank you all for the hard work. I look forward to continuing to work with such a great bunch of dedicated people. I can't think of a group I would want to be working with more than all of you.
With certainty of values and clarity of the rightness of the cause,

2. Ottawa man gets 12 years after being found guilty of terrorism charge
Misbahuddin Ahmed walks out of the Ottawa Courthouse on Tuesday, Sept. 28, 2010. (The Canadian Press/Pawel Dwulit)
OTTAWA, Ont. – An Ottawa man convicted of a terrorism charge as part of a homegrown conspiracy was handed a 12-year sentence on Thursday.
Misbahuddin Ahmed, 30, had been found guilty of conspiring to facilitate a terrorist activity and participating in the activities of a terrorist group.
The former hospital technician had been acquitted by a jury on a third more serious count — possession of explosives with intent to do harm.
3. UPDATED: Possible Jihadi Attack in NYC
Earlier today a man with an axe approached a group of NYPD officers and, in an unprovoked attack, struck two of them with the axe before succumbing to a hail of bullets from the officers.

he hatchet-wielding man who attacked four NYPD officers earlier today and was then shot dead by police may have had ties to ISIS, sources told Vocativ.
Law-enforcement sources we spoke with identified Zale Thompson as the armed man who charged at a group of NYPD uniformed police assembled on a street corner in Jamaica, Queens, at around 2 p.m. today. The 32-year-old Muslim, who lived in Queens, struck one of the officers in the back of the head with his hatchet and gashed another on the arm, the police said.

Earlier today I had an interesting discussion with a Lebanese Christian who explained to me that in 1973 and 74, muslims attacked lone soldiers in Lebanon here and there exactly like we see now here in Canada. By 1975 they were at full out war with muslims. Of course, we here in Canada don't have muslim countries on our border in the strictest of senses, so we won't be attacked in quite the same way.

4. America's "Most Influential Muslim" Endorses Sharia Law
He and 17 other Muslim-American leaders signed a letter condemning the tactics of the Islamic State terrorist group and offering theological rebuttals. It is a letter that earned them tremendous positive publicity by news outlets that didn't notice that the letter endorsed the resurrection of the Caliphate and Sharia governance, specifically its brutal hudud punishments.
"Hudud punishments are fixed in the Qu'ran and Hadith and are unquestionably obligatory in Islamic Law," point 16 of the letter states.
It also used vague language that could justify other acts of terrorism, such as attacks by Hamas on Israel. The condemnation of the Islamic State's targeting of American journalists contains an exception that approves of jihad against reporters they view as dishonest.

I am waiting till the show goes online to grab them. For those that want to hear the whole show at CFRA.com check out the caller, 'Joanne' who nailed it all.
His father's history offers a hint of what Mr. Bathurst was concerned about. In 2011, a Montrealer named "Belgasem Zahef" was quoted in a Washington Times dispatch from the front in Libya, where he had travelled to join the rebel fight. The man described being detained at the Zawiyah oil terminal, where he witnessed torture.
At the Burnaby mosque, Mr. Bathurst said his friend's "erratic" behaviour – he did not elaborate – caused frictions with the elders at the house of worship, who asked him to stop attending prayers. At that time, Mr. Zehaf-Bibeau was living in a barely furnished single-room apartment.
Mr. Bathurst said he recalls his friend being arrested at the mosque a few years ago after bizarrely calling police to tell them about a crime he had committed many years before.

2. Taxi firm in Rochdale offers white drivers on demand after two of Pakistani origin were jailed for sex-grooming of girls in town
(What is interesting is the British government and their official policy of not blaming Islam as it appears racist and instead, referring to the constant abuse of the British people by muslims as by 'Asians', have made systemic racism the default to avoid the perception of racism by nailing the ideology. As a consequence, Christian, Buddhist, Hindu and Sikh people with nothing but the best intent and love of the UK will lose business while white Muslims will still be sent out on calls to pick up 12 year old British girls)
Rochdale minicab firm Car 2000 is offering the choice after two taxi drivers of Pakistani origin were jailed for their part in the sex trafficking and rape of young white girls in the town.
The firm, which bought out Eagle Taxis – a company at the centre of the grooming scandal, has revealed that many customers were asking for white or 'local' drivers, it was reported last night.

THE debate about climate change is finished – because it has been categorically proved NOT to exist, one of the world's leading meteorologists has claimed.
John Coleman, who co-founded the Weather Channel, shocked academics by insisting the theory of man-made climate change was no longer scientifically credible.
Instead, what 'little evidence' there is for rising global temperatures points to a 'natural phenomenon' within a developing eco-system.
In an open letter attacking the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, he wrote: "The ocean is not rising significantly.
"The polar ice is increasing, not melting away. Polar Bears are increasing in number.
"Heat waves have actually diminished, not increased. There is not an uptick in the number or strength of storms (in fact storms are diminishing).

1. Turkish woman detained after tweeting picture of herself standing on pages of Quran
(You might have to get there by navigating from the front page of Hurriynetdailynews)
A woman was detained in the Turkish capital Ankara after sharing a photo of her feet standing on pages of the Quran via her Twitter account.
The Ankara Public Prosecutor's Office took action against the Twitter account @kedibiti after Ankara Mayor Melih Gökçek, who is known as an active Twitter user, filed a complaint about the account, also alleging that it had "insulted the president and the government."
Prosecutors discovered that the Twitter account's owner was a 36-year-old Istanbul resident, identified only as G.Y. The Istanbul Police Department called her to the police station, and she arrived at the station in Istanbul's Gayrettepe neighborhood, where she reportedly explained that she was an atheist.
She was released after questioning, but a lawsuit has been opened against her on charges of "triggering hatred in society" and "slandering."

7. BREAKING: Reports Say ISIS Hits U.S. Embassy in Baghdad with Mortars
RIA Novosti is confirming reports seen on Twitter in the past few hours that the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad has been hit by rockets/mortars by ISIS:
The report:
BAGHDAD, October 22 (RIA Novosti) – The US Embassy in Iraq located in central Baghdad has been shelled with rockets, Al-Mustakillah news agency reported Wednesday citing a security source.
"On Tuesday night the US Embassy was hit with three rockets. They were fired from a park area in the Dora district [in southern Baghdad]," the agency's source said.
I have been caught in a near 'fog of war' by the events of today in Ottawa and have not managed to keep track of all the fantastic work by everyone who has sent in material for this post and the previous one. M., Oz-Rita, CB Sashenka, Richard, Wrath of Khan, Maria J., TL., and lots of people who took the time and trouble to follow events and send them in. This is a collective effort and thank you all for your vigilance.
The sad truth of it is that few minds will change because of today's events and of course the real threat is not in kinetic attacks but in the interfaith committees where our culture and rights and freedoms are traded away for Islamic norms and in the city councils where we make special provisions for muslim buildings so we have to adhere to every letter of our municipal laws and muslims can ignore them freely etc.
Terrorism is frankly just a distraction from our rapid loss to sharia. We must watch that closely. Its dull plodding work with the sexiness of an old dishcloth and requires frequent aspirins and anti emetics. But that is where the real war is.

The State Department scrambled on Monday to respond to a weekend New York Times scoop revealing that the Obama administration intends to bypass Congress in reducing sanctions on Iran – the Times' exact language was that "President Obama will do everything in his power to avoid letting Congress vote on" an agreement with the Islamic republic – as both lawmakers expressed opposition and journalists pressed for clarification.
2. Official talking heads for the Canadian muslims make sure the media and public see them as the victims of yesterday's attack on two Canadian soldiers.
Concerned there might be a backlash against their community, many hope to stress that Martin Couture-Rouleau's murderous act of mowing down a member of the Armed Forces should not be connected to his recent conversion to Islam.
The Canadian Muslim Forum say they were shocked by news of Couture-Rouleau's actions and have outright condemned it.

3. This is huge progress. CTV, one of Canada's 2 broadcast media empires which usually works to force people away from the facts when it comes to Islam, this time sent out a reporter to the actual mosque that the jihadi who killed the serviceman yesterday attended and asked questions. This is new, and huge progress in terms of media dealing with the truth. Watch the video at the link above.

6. Seven arrested in raid on Black Muslim Temple in Oakland
7. An Antiquated Theory Shaped by Revenge, War and Violence
Thank you Yucki, M., Wrath of Khan, GoV., and all. I would like to take this opportunity to thank this amazing community that takes the time and trouble to dig through an ocean of material to find actual information that reflects the rapidly evolving reality of Islam and its effects on Western Civilization.
Two self declared Muslims, Tarek Fatah and Raheel Reza were both interviewed today by the Sun Chain about the attack in Montreal and the three girls who were caught in Turkey trying to join the Islamic State and had left Toronto to do so.
There is a critical difference in the approach between these two people.
On the attack in Montreal:
If there was any doubt about Couture-Rouleau's motives, it ended when Quebec's TVA Nouvelles reported Couture-Rouleau called a 911 dispatcher and explained he was "acting in the name of Allah."
On the three girls from Toronto:
Twenty years ago, would the RCMP have released teenage IRA recruits back into the care of their parents?
We now have three teenage girls who apparently believe in the ISIS doctrine of armed jihad and who flew out of the country to join it, walking freely about our city, while the rest of us have no information as to who they are or what to look out for.
As someone who has received death threats from Islamists as late as two weeks ago, and who in 2011 received a threat from a teenage Somali girl when I was hospitalized, perhaps I am a bit paranoid.
Read the whole article for context. But Tarek has it right. The frame of reference is only Canadian and Canadian law. There is no attempt to discuss the motives or actions or justifications from any other point of view. Tarek's reasoning in these, as in most things, mirrors my own.
Then we have Raheel Reza on wearing the veil during citizenship oath:
Her reasoning seems to be about what Islam and koran allows or demands. I find this to be extremely problematic. It doesn't matter if her interpretation agrees with Canadian values or laws. It only matters what Canadian values or laws are. What if the Koran did demand that women wear the veil whenever they are in infidel lands? Would she be backing that view then? We must never consider what foreign value sets demand when within Canada and I find it a kind of anesthesia when seemingly liberal muslims try and agree with us while sneaking in the idea that the koran or Islamic law should be viewed as an authority and something which should be considered.
ISIS has reportedly struck the U.S. embassy in Baghdad in what could be the furthers incursion yet into Iraq's capital.
On Tuesday the Islamist militant group took credit for a mortar attack against the embassy in Baghdad. The group bragged about the attack on social media, claiming that there were likely casualties.
1. Wales: Mum flying black Muslim flag outside home tells neighbours it's definitely not a show of support for Islamic State
2. CNN: What we learn from ISIS' online magazine
But the two webzines share few similarities beyond that. Inspire was very much focused on recruiting lone-wolf jihadists and inspiring homegrown extremism in the West, but Dabiq includes only a few vague sentences about carrying out attacks in the West.
Where Inspire included instructions on bomb-making and building weapons to carry our attacks in the West, Dabiq focuses almost entirely on the actions of ISIS in Iraq and Syria and encourages followers to join the jihad there. In the third issue of Dabiq an ISIS writer asserts, "This life of jihad is not possible until you pack and move to the Khilafah," meaning to leave your home and travel to ISIS' areas of control in Iraq and Syria.
(While this isn't bad, CNN fails to notice the point they themselves make earlier on in this article. That Dabiq actually does give clear scriptural justification for everything they do. This means that the Islamic State is the real islam)
3. More on the US weapons drop to Islamic State jihadis
GAZIANTEP, Turkey—While U.S. warplanes strike at the militants of the so-called Islamic State in both Syria and Iraq, truckloads of U.S. and Western aid has been flowing into territory controlled by the jihadists, assisting them to build their terror-inspiring "caliphate."
4. For some time now I have been making the argument whenever and wherever I could that removing people's right of exit is wrong at many levels, with the one proviso that once we are at war with a nation or people then we can deny the right of exit to someone planning to fight against us but then we should be arresting them on treason etc. and it becomes a different matter. I think yesterday's terror attack and murder of one of Canada's soldiers makes that point better than I possibly could have. Please read this:
Martin (Ahmad) Couture-Rouleau's passport was seized by Canadian authorities concerned he had become radicalized and would travel overseas, RCMP Commissioner Bob Paulson said Tuesday.
Couture-Rouleau, 25, was fatally shot after hitting the two soldiers in a parking lot of a commercial plaza in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, a city about 40 kilometres southeast of Montreal.
One of the soldiers, 53-year-old Patrice Vincent, died of his injuries Monday evening. Police say the other soldier doesn't have life-threatening injuries.
5. DoD news which explains that they don't know how US weapons ammunition, grenades and so on, ended up in Islamic State hands. We can rest assured that they do not know.
6. Switzerland seems to have the kind of common sense that everyone used to have before cultural Marxism replaced it with sanctimonious suicidal thinking.
7. Alain Wagner puts it on the line as he demands that all organizations which try and implement or demand sharia law be labelled as counter-democratic and anti-human-rights.
Thank you M., Yucki, Richard, Maria J., GoV., and all who sent in materials. More to come almost certainly.
Long time readers of my blog may remember a thing I ran on the sidebar of this site to get the US government to give two new recruits to the US forces a purple heart who had been shot by a convert to Islam while standing in a parking lot of a mall in front of a military office in 2009.
While the similarities are interesting it is the differences that really count in this case.
I ran that campaign because the US government was refusing to look at it as an act of war and so the soldiers were not given the Purple heart which they richly deserved and earned, especially considering the number of people that received one from injuring themselves on things like Coke machines. Seriously.
However as Canada's government has already clearly acknowledged that this was indeed a terrorist attack I feel hopeful at this time that the two men who were attacked, and one who died, will receive all the benefits for themselves and their families that they would have received had this occurred in an officially designated combat zone.
Perhaps we should keep one jaundiced eye open on the news to make sure this is the case anyway. Political correctness and pressure from muslim groups surely will try and get this listed as 'work-place violence' or some other Obama brand, US style crazy deflection from reality. But I hope we Canadians have more sense than that and are capable of dealing with reality in the here and now.
Meanwhile, people may want to check out Point De Bascule which has a great set of resources on the Imam who preaches at the mosque that the jihadi who attacked those two men near Montreal attended.
I would like to take this opportunity to express my sorrow for the loss, and respect for this serviceman who died in this jihadi attack as well as the other who was injured. A caller to Lowell Green's show this morning had a great idea that all of us should show support by dressing in combat fatigues or otherwise in military style with the proviso that we do not actually wear a uniform if we are not in the forces. But cammo pants or jacket would be a good idea.
H/T C.B. Sashenka
1. Canada used to have two rational newspapers. The Sun Chain and the National Post. In the last while, a few of us have noticed that one of the editors of the National Post, Jonathan Kay, seemed to have moved away from his usual highly rational positions on a number of subjects and towards a position we would expect from the Toronto Star or other left leaning newspapers. Today, Ezra Levant explains why. And it is extremely disappointing.
2. 'He's an idiot', says family of the 'Ginger Jihadist' as they claim Australian teen who appears in ISIS video has been brainwashed
Ginger-haired Australian jihadist Abdullah Elmir, 17, has been condemned by his relatives over a chilling video in which he declares ISIS will not stop their murderous campaign 'until the black flag is flying high in every single land'.
In a propaganda video for the terror group published on YouTube, the young white, Sydney born man calling himself Abu Khaled from Australia is flanked by other ISIS fighters.
(Could Eric Cartman have been wright about Gingers?)
3. It is with great sadness that we are informed that one of the two soldiers run over by a muslim in yesterday's attack in a suburb of Montreal has died from his injuries. There is not much more to say about that. My condolences to his family and friends and his compatriots and brothers in arms. I would also like to thank him for his service to our country and I hope deeply that he is given all the military honors that should be bestowed to any serviceman who dies in combat, as that is without a shred of doubt what did happen.
4. More footage of the explosion in Kobani (I think)

"Great company "

I worked at General Mills full-time (more than an year)
Good products, culture a bit stiff, but in all a very good place to work.
Maybe the pay is disparate between sales reps and clerical, but they at least have a two tier incentive and merit payment program, to their credit.

I worked at General Mills full-time (more than 3 years)Pros
--- Great career opportunities and ability to move across departments. I wouldn't say it is "easy" but it is do-able if you prove to management you are capable.
--- Great work-life balance. There is onsite daycare, fitness facility, bank, etc. at the corporate headquarters. Depending on the job, one could work from home. It was nice to be able to work from home when the kids were too sick for school/daycare.
--- Low turnover. Many employees start there when they're 18 and retire there. Love the knowledge base. Some retire and comeback as consultants.
--- CEO, executive management, middle management, etc. are approachable.
--- During the few layoffs General Mills has had, the laid-off employees were often treated with dignity. (Granted this may have differed slightly from one division to the next.) For example, EVERY employee had a meeting with his/her manager no matter if he/she was going to be laid off. The laid-off employee also had the opportunity to work the rest of the day or the rest of the week. The laid-off employee also had the opportunity to say "good-bye".Cons
--- Some managers are better than others at guiding you on the career tract.
--- Yes, it's a big corporation, so some things move very slowly.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Thanks for taking care of your employees.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO
"Very solid company, but a bit too cookie-cutter corporate "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance

- Career Opportunities
I have been working at General Mills full-time (more than 5 years)Pros
Great benefits when starting out (3 weeks vacation, no need to accrue), very high performing people who are self driven and motivated. Opportunities to succeed and showcase your talents. Very structured career paths designed to help employees move up the chain according to a specific plan. Company that cares about helping communities and getting employees involved.Cons
Political environment where who you suck up to matters too much. What committees and other things you're involved with for "exposure" carry too much weight come performance appraisal time. Performance of all individuals must be "calibrated" along a bell-type curve - that is, some people must be designated as "the best" while others are the "worst" ratings-wise. If you're the newest person at your level and it's been less than 6 months in-role, you automatically get the lowest rating possible.
Company touts flexibility and work-life balance on paper, but ultimately the business needs trump all.
Company slow to innovate, be bold with new items and do what it takes to win with best customers.Advice to ManagementAdvice
Be more honest and transparent with people - especially with regards to staffing decisions and outlooks.RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEO

Oct 17, 2014 11:18 BST ad:tech London One of the most widely used marketing tools that we as marketers use is email. We look at emails daily on multiple devices, be that a phone, tablet or desktop. We read emails at home, work and on the go. It is an amazingly powerful tool and is a must for marketing to the modern generation, where emails are checked on an hourly basis... at the very least.

Oct 15, 2014 12:46 BST ad:tech London The principles behind effective marketing and communication may have been around for millennia, but you can't use your 2004 marketing strategy in 2014. What's changed? The world opened up. We are all more connected than ever, and highly social. We're demanding – we want content written for us, about us, by people who understand us.
Oct 14, 2014 14:10 BST ad:tech London Is user-generated content (UGC) just a trend? Are marketers piling on the UGC hashtag bandwagon because it has the "cool factor"? And if so, does that mean that at some point the next shiny object will simply replace it? Certainly, it means there is a growing perceived value. But, how does that translate into enterprise return on investment (ROI)?
Oct 09, 2014 13:03 BST ad:tech London Google 0 – 1 Brainlabs You may have heard that Google are removing exact match at the end of September. They're telling us that it will give us "control with less complexity" which is really patronising for those sophisticated advertisers who have built systems and workflows around precise match types. It's just a way of collecting more cash.
Oct 09, 2014 10:02 BST ad:tech London When it comes to keyword research, it's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that tools will do the job of brains. Let's clear that out from the outset: they won't. Tools are only as good as their handlers. Give a spanner to a monkey, it'll find ingenious ways to use it. Give the same spanner to a dog and it goes from tool to toy. Use tools wisely.
Oct 08, 2014 07:48 BST ad:tech London As a nation, UK consumers are indefinitely infatuated with their smart phones and mobile devices; this is becoming ever more evident with the increasingly widespread mobile internet and 3 and 4G availability.

William Ward of Bethlehem pleads guilty to murdering, dismembering girlfriend Trisha Sadler
Updated On: Oct 09 2012 08:40:29 AM CDT
Just as his trial was set to begin Monday, a Bethlehem man pleaded guilty to murdering his longtime girlfriend, then chopping her body into pieces. Now, he will spend the rest of his life in prison.
William Ward, 46, admitted in court to slitting longtime girlfriend Trisha Sadler's throat before dismembering her body and stuffing it into garbage bags inside their bedroom. The crime happened on Cloverdale Road in June of 2011.
Sadler's family said they never knew the relationship was abusive.
"We accepted this man into our family, and we had no idea," said Trisha's father, Michael Sadler.
But just two weeks before her death, Sadler did tell a friend that Ward threatened to kill her. When Sadler didn't show up for work two days in a row, Bethlehem Police came to the couple's home, where Ward attacked them with barbells after a five-hour standoff.
Monday, Ward pleaded guilty to first-degree murder, accepting a life prison sentence with no possibility of parole. When he was arrested, Ward was on probation for a previous aggravated assault from 1993. He served six years in prison.
"We're glad that justice has been served, yes," said Michael Sadler. "We'll never be glad of the outcome of this whole thing."
In court, Sadler's mother, Diane, said life in prison is "a walk in the park compared to the torment this monster put us through."
She added: "My nightmares are awful ... I hope his are even worse.''
Friends said Sadler was preparing to leave Ward after nine years together. He had previously assaulted her, prosecutors said in court, and had been out of work for months. Sadler financially supported him.
"The evidence was overwhelming," said Michael Sadler. "Our daughter was ready to leave, and I think he realized that his gravy train was about to end."
Ward pleaded "guilty but mentally ill" to first degree murder, a distinction that does not change his sentence, but makes Ward eligible for mental health treatment in prison. A defense expert found that Ward suffers from schizophrenia and paranoia, which he now takes medication for.
In court, Ward's lawyer said his client remembers very little about the attack, but admits he was not legally insane at the time.

How the U.S. Corporate Media Got the Israel Flotilla Catastrophe So WrongQuicklink submitted by Sheila Samples Permalink

(37 fans)
|Some might ask if we should feel 'no particular pain' for the dead of Sept. 11. Or perhaps we should follow the lead of the White House â€' which sees no point in condemning Israel's killing of civilians in the flotilla because 'Nothing can bring them back' â€' and not condemn the architects of Sept. 11 or the Madrid and London bombings because that won't bring back the dead.

onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon
dried dill weed
1 cup
white sugar
1/2 cup
white vinegar
1/2 cup
1 teaspoon
Love this recipe with rice dishes. Perfect blend of sweet and tartness. This needs to sit at least 6-8 hours to fully appreciate the flavors.
Pretty good but a little too sweet. I used 1/2 the sugar the recipe called for and I added in a little more vinegar.
163 Ratings
Very nice salad! I thinly sliced the cucumber and added the salt. I let that set for about twenty minutes to let the cucumbers produce their own water. I added thin sliced red onion, cut the amount of sugar in half, used white wine vinegar, left the amount of dill the same and omitted the water. I chilled it for the time stated and it went great with grilled chicken. If you like this, you'll like "Dilly Cucumber Salad" from this site.
This salad was a great side dish with grilled salmon. I used rice vinegar and omitted the sugar entirely. Red onion also added some nice color.
This is a great way to use those garden cukes. I like adding 1/2 cup red bell pepper to the mixture but it's great as is. I love the taste of fresh dill but the dried dill really works best with this recipe as it's not so overwhelming. Very refreshing. IF you're going to reduce the sugar....reduce the vinegar, too. The cukes make plenty of their own liquid.
This recipe was TOO SWEET!! I'd cut back on the sugar at least half.
I usually don't care for cucumbers in vinegar but this was the best. It has such a wonderful flavor and so sweet.
A little too sweet for my taste... next time I'll cut the sugar to 1/2 cup. I also added halved cherry tomatoes, they tasted wonderful with the onion and cucumber the next day!

Skillz - Baby Phat '09
Artist: Skillz
Featuring: Colin Munroe
Producer: nVMe
Album: LE DA SOUL - 20 Years Of De La Soul
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 8 votes )
Though much has been made of America's fixation on slimness, nine out of ten rappers will tell you that a high-quality woman looks even better with a little extra quantity—as De La Soul put it, "...there's nothing like a little Baby Phat." Recently premiered on illroots.com, this cut finds underground mainstay Skillz joining forces with reader favorite Colin Munroe to bring the alt-hop icons' '01 single into 2009. Flowing over nVMe's reverb-drenched reinterpretation of Dave West's stop-start beat, the "Rap-Up" emcee lets the ladies know they can feel free to drop the dumbbells, step down from the stair-stepper, and skip the aerobics class. Though this track doesn't stray too far from the original's blueprint, Munroe's trademark, studio-tweaked hook vocals are just the quintessentially-'09 touch needed to hook the younger set in addition to De La devotees. For more reimaginings of the trio's classic jams, check out the Mick Boogie & Terry Urban-presented LE DA SOUL - 20 Years Of De La Soul mixtape—and if you're a female, why not enjoy it with a pastry of your choice?

Sheehan and the Democrats
In a recent article in these pages, I tweaked Cindy Sheehan for going soft on Hillary Clinton's warmongering. Well, I was wrong. Sheehan hasn't gone soft on Clinton; she's attacked the New York senator for her hollow position on the Iraq conflict.
At a rally outside Hillary Clinton's office in New York, Cindy Sheehan declared to the crowd on hand that Clinton must either speak out against the war or risk losing her job. In fact, New York antiwar advocates are hoping Sheehan will run against Clinton in the Democratic primaries in 2006. Others out West are hoping Sheehan will take on Dianne Feinstein in California.
In a recent interview with the Village Voice Sheehan contended that she was "so frustrated" by top Democrats like Hillary Clinton "who should be leaders on this [war] issue, but are not," arguing that it is "time for them to step up and be the opposition party. This war is not going to end unless the Democrats are on board with us."
It sure would be nice if more antiwar activists were to follow Cindy's lead on this one. If the majority of protesters took their protests to the front steps of each elected pro-war Democrat as well as Republican, we might have a big-time movement on our hands. I'll admit it; Sheehan is savvier than I gave her credit for. She knows that the antiwar movement should stick to the war, not lesser-evil politics. Too bad Sheehan wasn't making headlines during the 2004 elections; if she had been, the antiwar movement might have not been so soft on the pro-war Kerry campaign.
We certainly have a long way to go before antiwar activists start taking on the Democrats for embracing everything Bush has propagated.
Some have speculated, including muckraking journalist Wayne Madsen, that the Democrats fled last weekend's rallies because the pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC had urged them not to. Madsen reported that Congressman Barney Frank was pressured by AIPAC to intervene and scare Democrats out of attending the rallies. I certainly agree that AIPAC doesn't want elected officials to attend antiwar festivities, but to think that AIPAC alone is responsible for the Democrats' absence is foolish. The Democrats have been pro-war and pro-occupation since the Iraq war's inception. Is this solely because of AIPAC's influence?
No, the Democrat's inability to challenge Bush goes a lot deeper than their ties to Israel. The Democrats haven't been able to go after Bush on any major issue, from PATRIOT Act to CAFTA to John Roberts. The Iraq war is just one more failure in a laundry list of Democratic disappointments.
Perhaps next we'll see Cindy Sheehan take on the plight of the Palestinians and speak out against Israel's influence over U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East. If she does so, we might really be getting somewhere. In the meantime, however, let's just be happy that Sheehan recognizes the Democrats are Bush's war enablers. At least it's a start.

We published an article entitled "A Saudiless Arabia" by Wayne Madsen dated October 22, 2002 (the "Article"), on the website of the Institute for the Advancement of Journalistic Clarity, CounterPunch, www.counterpunch.org (the "Website").
Although it was not our intention, counsel for Mohammed Hussein Al Amoudi has advised us the Article suggests, or could be read as suggesting, that Mr Al Amoudi has funded, supported, or is in some way associated with, the terrorist activities of Osama bin Laden and the Al Qaeda terrorist network.
We do not have any evidence connecting Mr Al Amoudi with terrorism.
As a result of an exchange of communications with Mr Al Amoudi's lawyers, we have removed the Article from the Website.
We are pleased to clarify the position.

Discussion in 'Star Wars Community' started by DarthPoppy, Sep 6, 2011.
So, are you excited? Disappointed?
I pre-ordered back in June, and I'm super excited to dig into the Blu-Ray set when I get it. Can't wait 'till the 16th!
I didn't pre-order but I plan to buy it.
Rats. I hit wait and see when I tried voting for Nooo made me say no.
I'll wait and see.
Taking a wait and see approach, though I am leaning toward No! Not a fan of the constant changes, it is stupid. The story worked very well as it was, no reason at all to revise what is considered a top 10 classic film at this point.
I've watched the leaks of the OT. I weeped tears of joy. Forget all VHS, DVD, and fan edits.
Star Wars is BACK FOR GOOD.
EDIT: Regarding the "NO" change... The best way to deal with it is to feel as if you've never seen ROTJ before. If you don't know it "doesn't belong" there, it doesn't bother you. That said, when you're watching the BluRays you'll feel as if you've never seen these movies before because, well, in HD they feel like brand new movies.
Yep, preordered. I'm a sucker that way.
I went digging through my post history just to find my statement on the matter. Lucky you.
Ultimately, if you are buying the new set then I hope you get enjoyment out of it. Just don't invite me around to watch, or I'll quite probably smash your new investment with a bloody great big hammer!
Not to open up a can of worms, but I really can't see people who've never seen ROTJ accepting the NOOOOOOO. They'll think it's stupid and very inconsistent with his character.
And for established fans it's hard to see the edit as anything but a passive agressive reponse to the fans that didn't like Vader in ROTS.
It definately seems too much of a coincidence that at the time some fans were complaining about Hayden Christensen he is added to the 2004 OT DVD release, and now that the main controversy is "NOOOOOOO!!!" Vader is suddenly yelling it in the 2011 OT blu-ray release.
okay, i'll bite. how is it stupid and inconsistent with his character?
When has Vader ever shown a bit of emotion towards his son besides the final fight of RotJ? Now all of a sudden he is going to show remorse at his potential death in ESB? How is that believable at all when he just sliced off his hand without a second thought at the end of a brutal duel?
Please. Vader showing concern for Luke and screaming NOOOOO as he watches him jump to his potential death is very out of character for him at that point in his life.
Then 1 movie later we are supposed to feel any kind of real tension in the second duel between Luke and Vader when we are supposed to be watching a duel that depicts Vader trying to off his son, kinda ruins the emotional tension between the characters have built up during RotJ.
What purpose does adding these changes make? They change the emotion/personality/motive of the character, a character who is one of the most iconic villains of all time. Big risk making unnecessary changes like that.
it was cooler when luke fell down that shaft without screaming, and it was cooler when vader threw the emperor without screaming. discipline, control, jedi stuff. i don't care how many more cgi characters get thrown into(or taken out of) the prequel trilogy. the whole thing can just do whatever it wants. but what really steams my beans is when they have to go messing with the original trilogy which we've all grown up and loved in it's cinematic oringallness. the old lady with the monkey eyes, the ewok dance party, the fact that han DID shoot first, and the day back when jabba's palace had music that was cool and chilled out, not some crazy cgi bad sci-fi costume freakout. most of the people that say they don't mind the changes are prequel era star wars fans. sorry, you just are. so go ahead and let uncle george monkey with your trilogy. as for everybody else that doesn't want to see unnecessary changes thrown in all willy-nilly, that's normal. it only means that you are sane.
as for the "will I buy the blue rays i suppose that depends,
and what's with the new noooo scene? or do I not want to know?
I think it's hardly fair to blame Lucas or the Blu Ray changes for a "mental breakdown," Chewie. With all respect, I think there's some underlying stuff you have going on which is totally unrelated to changes being made to a film series. Maybe I'm wrong, though. But I did take the liberty of looking up the term "mental breakdown," and...
This happened to you? Because of a film?
I appreciate that you're upset and everything, and I appreciate how Star Wars has helped you through so much. I can say the same for myself. But really, at the end of the day, they're just movies! Nothing to sweat over. I think Lucas might've added the "Noooo" to poke fun at the fans who take all this stuff too seriously.
Wait a second, there's an added "noooo" in ESB? I thought we were talking about ROTJ only. I don't agree with the ROTJ "nooo," but to play devil's advocate, I think Lucas was trying to draw a parallel between how Vader felt when he lost Padme, and the feeling that he was going to lose Luke in the same way. A connecting the saga sorta thing.
I was five years old when I saw "Star Wars" in the theater in 1977. I saw ESB and did not believe that Vader was really Luke's father. I had a mad crush on Han Solo when ROTJ premiered. I grew up on the originals, and yes, I like the prequels. I'm not sure what you mean by "prequel era" Star Wars fans--people who like the prequels? Or are you making the assumption that those of us who don't mind the SEs and the Blu-Ray changes are not as "mature" as the rest of you?
I don't know if the former is correct, we'd have to have a poll on that one, but I can assure you that the latter is both incorrect and uncalled for, as is your insinuation that those of us who don't mind the changes are "insane."
Did you read my first reason?
The change in the movie isn't just a change in a movie, it's a change in a huge part of my life. And as I don't deal with minor change (If someone moves a room around I can end up not sleeping for days) then how am I supposed to deal with something that is to me massive? Yes I broke down over it. The next day I had to cancel (well my mum had to cancel) going to the bank to sign very important documents for my PA.
And yes, I feel like George is to blame, seeing as it's just him that made the changes.
not to sound like a complete monkey butt, but, quickly researching on the internet about medical conditions of the brain is in what you yourself term as "simplistic".
I've had many shrinks, psychologists and CBT therapists over the years and all say one thing "everyones brain is different" simple text book definitions don't work in cases like this, as it's not a broken arm.
Just thought I'd point this out
The day is here...now for Amazon to ship them...
I have Amazon Prime and it shipped last night and it is out for delivery today! When I get home from work I will have it! I pre-ordered it from Amazon on 1/7, the same day it was announced. I can't wait. This set is THE entire reason I bought a PS3.
Skipped out of work on my lunch break to pick up the BluRays at Costco.
Besides the fact I don't have a Blu-Ray, even if this version came out as standard DVD - I still would not buy it because from Darth Vader's unnecessary "Nooo" to a random dug wondering around Jabba's palace and Wicket's blinking eyes - these so-called edits are ridiculous. I stand with the bunch who want the original movies, as they were first seen theatrically to be released on DVD. Then yes, I would buy them.
I have been reading on this.... this 'NOOOOO' from Vader at the end of ROTJ is not really needed. What surprises me is that Hayden Christian was not digitally aged and seen when luke took off Vader's mask. That could have been really cool if done right.
CGI Yoda was MUCH needed in TPM. That puppet was far worse than what was seen in TESB and ROTJ. Hope that works out well.
I will not pay 140 bucks for this right now, the price will come down. And so will blue ray players. I can wait.
Sorry if I'm being dense, but I just don't see how this can be. If you don't want to watch it, then don't. It's not like somebody forced you to buy SW Blu-Ray, tied you to a chair, and made you watch it.
